For Gold Coast based 'breezers and visitors, we are having a big weekend at Board Culture at Mermaid Beach. Members from Burleigh and Narrowneck clubs have been invited to come along, but don't let that deter you from showing up!

On Saturday 25th Feb from 9am there will be a sausage sizzle put on by Burleigh Longboard Club. This is part of the club's annual fundraiser to promote awareness of its long running Anzac Day contest. You will also be able to buy raffle tickets to win a new board or $500 in cash.

For the kids there will be snakes and crocodiles (no, not Mac) to keep them enthralled courtesy of Wild Rangers wildlife encounters.

And for the surfers, there will be heaps of bargains on new and used surfboards, bodyboards, skateboards, clothing and accessories (and that was the shameless plug part). So come along, grab a coffee or cold drink and a snag and catch up with fellow longboarders/shortboarders. And we will be live streaming some contest that is apparently on at Snapper. - Mark
